First Blog Post

Hi and welcome to Just Charity Things! 



My name is Charity Robertson and I  am a 20 year old junior at Jacksonville State University where I  am majoring in Communications with a concentration in Public Relations and minor in English. 

After graduation, I  plan on hopefully securing a job in the workforce where I will be solely in charge of managing social media accounts for well known organizations. I  have always been fascinated by the "damage control" part of Public Relations so I believe this would also be something I  am definitely interested in and looking forward to learn more about in this class. 

 I  do plan on continuing this blog past this class and graduation just as soon as I  can grasp the hang of things! This blog will highlight things in my day to day life, from cooking, to balancing school, work, and a social life and also some more serious topics such as my encounters with racism, or what it is like growing up as a young, black woman in a white male dominated society. 

As you join me on this journey, I  hope you learn from me, I hope you laugh at and with me, I hope you cry with and most of all, I hope you're buckled up and ready for the chaotic ride that is my life! 😇


XOXO,

Charity Robertson

The "R" Word.

  RACISM. Look at me. I'm a black woman. I  was born a black woman and I will be a black woman until I  die.

I  think people should be allowed to date who they want. I    am pro-black. I  am also a black woman with a white best friend. Where It All Started Me and my best friend, Hannah, have been friends for about 13 years. We met in Mrs. Tisdale's third grade class and have been pretty much stuck like glue since. We've cried together, been in trouble together, snuck out together (sorry mama and Mrs. Kim), had disagreements, and fights but our friendship has never quavered.  We grew up attending Vincent Middle High School, a small 2A school about 30 miles outside of Birmingham,AL (You know, one of those towns where EVERYBODY knows EVERYBODY'S business 😒) I'll be the first to say that Hanna...

Criminal Justice or no?

What is Public Relations?     When I graduated from high school, I was CERTAIN that criminal justice was the right path for me. I loved Law & Order: SVU and thought that being a criminal psychologist would be the absolute coolest job ever. Can y’all believe I took an Intro to Criminal Justice class my first semester and HATED it? My professor was great and I did enjoy the class but I knew criminal justice was NOT the right decision for me.       I knew I needed to pick a major and it needed to happen quickly so that I wouldn’t be in school for 1,000 years. I knew that I enjoyed writing, event planning, and social media so after speaking with an old high school teacher, I decided Communications would be the best fit for me. After taking Introduction to Communications, I knew that I had chosen the PERFECT major for me.      Public Relations was right for me because I actually found myself enjoying the coursework, actively listening in ...
